Comment 2 for bug 480407

the absence of this causes constant warning messages in repo builds of firefox once a second about parts of it that are present but "missing", ie. the files are on disk but its still complaining, affecting battery life; about:buildconfig says python is still being enabled, but from what i've seen its been gone/broken since before 8.04; if nothing has been reported as broken since then, or if there's nothing that depends on it working; why not just remove it from the builds?

from buildconfig:

Configure arguments
--build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr '--includedir=/usr/include' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var '--libexecdir=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1' --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking --srcdir=. --enable-tests --enable-mochitest --enable-system-cairo --enable-system-sqlite --with-system-nspr --with-system-nss --enable-system-hunspell --enable-application=xulrunner --enable-extensions=default,python --with-default-mozilla-five-home=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.8 --enable-safe-browsing --enable-startup-notification --with-user-appdir=.mozilla --without-system-jpeg --with-system-zlib=/usr --with-system-bz2=/usr --disable-javaxpcom --disable-crashreporter --disable-elf-dynstr-gc --disable-installer --disable-strip --disable-strip-libs --disable-install-strip --disable-updater --enable-optimize --with-distribution-id=com.ubuntu
